IN  THE  SHADOWS 

I  AM  sailing  to  the  leeward. 
Where  the  current  runs  to  seaward 

Soft  and  slow. 
Where  the  sleeping  river  grasses 
Brush  my  paddle  as  it  passes 

To  and  fro. 

On  the  shore  the  heat  is  shaking 
All  the  golden  sands  awaking 

In  the  cove  ; 
And  the  quaint  sand- piper,  winging 
0*er  the  shallows,  ceases  singing 

When  I  move.

On  the  water's  idle  pillow 
Sleeps  the  overhanging  willow. 

Green  and  cool; 
Where  the  rushes  lift  their  burnished 
Oval  heads  from  out  the  tarnished 

Emerald  poo). 

Where  the  very  silence  slumbers. 
Water  lilies  grow  in  numbers. 

Pure  and  pale  ; 
All  the  morning  they  have  rested. 
Amber  crowned,  and  pearly  crested. 

Fair  and  frail. 

Here,  impossible  romances. 
Indefinable  sweet  fancies. 

Cluster  round  ; 
But  they  do  not  mar  the  sweetness 
Of  this  still  September  fleetness 

With  a  sound.

I  can  scarce  discern  the  meeting 
Of  the  shore  and  stream  retreating. 

So  remote  ; 
For  the  laggard  river,  dozing. 
Only  wakes  from  its  reposing 

Where  I  float. 

here  the  river  mists  are  rising, 
the  foliage  baptizing 
With  their  spray  ; 
There  the  sun  gleams  far  and  faintly. 
With  a  shadow  soft  and  saintly. 
In  its  ray. 

And  the  perfiime  of  some  burning 
Far-ofi^  brushwood,  ever  turning 

To  exale 
All  its  smoky  fragrance  dying. 
In  the  arms  of  evening  lying. 

Where  I  sail.

My  canoe  is  growing  lazy, 
In  the  atmosphere  so  hazy. 

While  I  dream  ; 
Half  in  slumber  I  am  guiding. 
Eastward  indistinftly  gliding 

Down  the  stream.
